Tenure Summary
Latrese Davis Schofield has worked for the Georgia Department of Corrections in a variety of roles since 2005, including mental health housing coordination, medical reprieve coordination, and business support analysis. Her record shows a transition into facility-level leadership in 2025, when she was appointed Deputy Warden at the Metro Reentry Facility in DeKalb County. In May 2025, her title was refined to Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment at the same facility, a role she continues to hold. GPS records attribute 11 deaths at the Metro Reentry Facility to Schofield’s deputy-warden tenure, spanning from March 30, 2025, through April 13, 2026. No lawsuits have been filed naming her as a defendant in connection with those deaths.What happened on their watch
All 11 deaths attributed to Schofield’s time at Metro Reentry occurred while she held the deputy warden position. The first death, on March 30, 2025, involved Harden Millard Walker, 70 (cause_category 1); DeKalb County Medical Examiner records note the manner was natural, with cardiac complications tied to end-stage liver failure, diabetes, and hypertension. Walker had been given a month to live and was arrested en route to hospice. In the following weeks, Willie James Johnson, 74, and Sammy Bernard Palmer, 54, died on April 11 and April 25, 2025, respectively (both cause_category 6). After Schofield became Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment in May 2025, seven more deaths were recorded through October 2025 and into early 2026. Five of those had detailed DeKalb County ME reports: John Whitfield, 61, died October 5, 2025, of metastatic stage-4 lung cancer while on hospice without an onsite nurse; Wilson Beavers, 66, died October 10 of cardiac complications amid multiple comorbidities; Stephen Mott, 52, died October 20 of a pulmonary embolism, with cellmates reporting he had not been compliant with medications and struggled to breathe; Rodney Corbin, 55, died October 23 of cardiac issues related to uncontrolled diabetes and kidney disease shortly after a hospital discharge; and Robert Rodriguez Johnson, 46, died January 1, 2026, of natural cardiac causes, per the ME, though GBI cause-of-death was still pending. Two additional deaths on January 31, 2026 (Donald Woods, 65) and March 1, 2026 (Samuel Dennis Hunt, 64) are categorized as cause_category 6 with no further notes in GPS records. An 11th death, on April 13, 2026 (Cedric Clement Pierce, 61), likewise carries no cause details beyond a cause_category 6 designation.Separately, GPS intelligence logs show that the GDC Office of Professional Standards launched an investigation into the death of Silas Westbrook, who suffered a medical emergency and died at Metro Reentry on January 17, 2026, after being transferred from Washington State Prison. Westbrook’s body was sent to the GBI Crime Lab for an official cause-of-death determination. This death is not included in the 11 fatalities GPS attributes to Schofield’s tenure, but it occurred during her time as Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment and drew an internal investigation.
